Johnny Cooper disbanded his band! Yep he sure did! The very ones that taught him what he knows (Jason Brown), and the ones that made him the person he is today! Is that anyway to pay them back? I thought he had better morals! Those guys made him who he is, and he is headed for rock bottom! Follow is not even worth listening to!! Do NOT waste your money!
